If you have turned on TV recently or have been in church, you have heard that God wants to bless you. You may have heard “the wealth of the wicked is saved up for the righteous.” You may have heard about the “hundred-fold blessing”. You may have heard that God wants the FIRST ten-percent of your income. You may have made large or small faith-promise pledges- So why haven’t you received YOUR blessing yet? As a bishop of a growing fellowship of ministers & churches worldwide I WANT TO SEE YOU BLESSED! Why, Brother David, do you want to see me blessed? Because God’s way of kingdom development is for YOU to be blessed, for you to bless His work, for Him to bless you more, and for His work thru you & me to grow. It starts as a small seed, even as tiny as a mustard seed, then it grows to become a big blessing to all who need it. Make sure you follow His plan. To become an heir of God & joint-heir with Christ is not difficult. You must believe that God is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. If we diligently seek Him, we soon learn that we fall way short of His Glory and His plan for us. That’s when we come to Him in faith believing. When we do the first works of repentance and baptism, He comes to live in us and do that which we cannot do for ourselves. If we abide in Him and His Word abides in us, we can ask what we will and have it done unto us. But Brother David, I’ve done all that & I’m still not blessed. God’s word says that He wants us to prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. Maybe you need to spend a little time making sure your soul prospers. Do you spend time with God in prayer and studying His word. Do you relax with Godly books, music, movies or are you just wrapped up in this life. Growing your soul will reap you returns in this life and in the one to come. YOU DON”T UNDERSTAND-- I’m a believer, I’ve followed Christ in obedience, AND I’ve given to His work until I’m all given out. Oh, really? God has promised to bless you, you have walked in the light of His word in obedience, living a Christian life, giving to ministers, ministries, and churches. Did God lie? My Bible says “Let God be true and every man a liar.” AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM. The Old Testament book of Haggai says “You have sown much and bring in little; ye eat but ye have not enough; ye drink but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.” Your Blessing keeps slipping away thru the holes! God never intended for His money to be put into luxurious appointments for ministers and ministries who lie saying that the money is going into God’s work when actually it is buying $100,000 automobiles, million dollar homes, corporate jets, and even being put into un-Godly investment schemes. God will not give you more to waste working against His kingdom. HERE’S THE SOLUTION Yes, this is where I ask you to support my work. Almost every day, I receive urgent appeals for help from pastors around the world. Pastors who operate orphanages, ministries, outreaches and churches with little or no support. One couple had two orphanages, several mission churches, and a Bible school which was supported by little more than a flock of chickens…until the chickens got sick and died. Indigent pastors who are asking for Bibles and study materials. These are pastors who would rather go hungry than let the little ones entrusted to them go without. I DO NOT NEED YOUR MONEY! I have two cars, a ‘93 Chevy Cavalier and a ‘97 Cadillac. I have a comfortable small apartment. I have more than enough to eat, and a closet full of clothes. And we have an income for life without any help from anyone else. Your offering goes only toward our outreaches and pastors around the world. You get as much “bang for the buck” in this ministry as in any I know. Your money will not be wasted but will actually be used to do God’s work both here and around the world. AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU……. MALACHI 3:10 SAYS “…PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IF I WILL NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM TO RECEIVE IT.” And that’s a fact--- I have been supernaturally blessed beyond my ability to receive! Remember: Do your giving while you’re living; so you’re knowing where it’s going. You may donate to this work by mailing your seed faith gift to the address given. May God richly bless you and yours is my prayer.
